Hope you are having a Thanksgiving full of fun and family and food.  If you aren't, remember that those who are envy you the peace and quiet and time to stitch.  And you belong to the family of stitchers, even if you have no blood ties.

Up To No Good, Obviously UPDATED

I love reading needlepoint blogs--I keep up with what everyone's up to that way! Naturally they are all up to no good.... 

First of all,  Linda of Stitching Sisters went to Memphis.  What's in Memphis, you say?  That's where Amy's Golden Strand is located  Linda was there on a Rent Amy Bunger visit and she had a BLAST!

Sandy Arthur is busy plotting how her first mystery class will work.  She is getting shops together to help people without a local needlepoint emporium find their supplies.  What fun!  It's not only a mystery class, but a scavenger hunt for supplies!  This is the sort of class I love as I enjoy scrounging around for supplies in my ample stash, substituting interesting threads and finding things I want to do a little differently.

Ruth Schmuff is a veteran of mystery classes and owns Bedecked and Beadazzled in the Baltimore suburbs, so her class mailings come with everything.    If you really need Fun-In-A-Box, this is the class for you.  Ruth is currently working on a Birdy Christmas.  If you like whimsical with bright colors and embellishments, this is the class for you.

UPDATES:  Here are the latest touches to Ruth's Birdy Christmas.  Who knew that something so silly and fun was also a tutorial on how to make parts of a canvas come forward and recede?!

All I Can Say Is WOW

I usually try to have something special for holidays to share, so this morning I'm introducing you to Nerdbroidery and her "Shadows of the Apt" embroidery and stump work.  I've never heard of Adrian Tchiakovsky and his series.  Anyone read them?  Actually, it doesn't matter if you have because we certainly will understand the skill and work put into the piece she stitched based on images and themes from the book, even if the characters are unknown to us.

Enjoy!  Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
